“Myself and a few other Raleigh rollerbladers were at the local cement park when a few kids rolled up on rec skates. They were so juiced to see other bladers and didn’t know you could still buy aggressive skates.

I decided to teach them how to drop in, and Rollerwarehouse rider Ryan Timms and I hooked them up with some stickers and catalogs so they could cop some new skates.

THIS is how we will get more people on blades. Not some contest, not some big corporate sponsor, not being on some TV station that doesn’t care about us. By showing kids what skating is, giving them skates, teaching them tricks, and giving them someone to skate with.”
